How to make Jalebi
Method
Syrup :
=======
Add sugar to a flat-based pan and put it on low heat. Add water slowly while mixing until you get one string syrup.
Add saffron. Mix well.
For the Dough
==============
Mix one cup of refined flour and buttermilk in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Stir until smooth. Add water only if necessary.
Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature.
Add remaining flour the next morning. Ghee.
Put this mixture into a plastic bag and punch a small hole at the other end. This should be so you can squeeze the dough out like one squeezes toothpaste out of a tube.
Heat oil in a wok.
Pour batter into pan in concentric circles to make spiral shapes.
Fry until the spiral shapes turn crisp and golden brown.
Remove from pan (two or three at a time) and put them into the syrup for about one minute.
Ensure that they are coated well on both sides. Repeat with remaining jalibis
Serve hot on a platter!
